angela merkel is hoping to lead conservatives to a third term in office. peer steinbrueck wants to unseat her, but the former finance minister faces a huge challenge. angela merkel's approval ratings are sky-high, giving a huge boost to her christian democrats. >> this coalition is the most successful german governments since reunification. >> merkel has been bouyed at home by her handling of the debt crisis, rewarded for her stance on austerity but silent on how much saving the euro could cost taxpayers. most opposition toward european policy is in her own ranks. the social democrats backed the european bailouts. >> germany's future is in europe, and we must invest in that future as we invest in reuniting germany. >> polls suggest many voters would welcome a return of the grand coalition between the spd and cdu with merkel as chancellor. social democrats have consistently backed the government and parliament on the bureau, which makes it difficult to attack merkel on this issue. instead, the spd are putting social justice at the heart of their campaign. >
